MY FIRST

This is my first blog post so I
will let you in on a secret – I have no idea what to write!Perhaps I’ll just start from the beginning.

I live in a small country town
in Western Australia.I’m in my late
forties, have a husband, two grown children – a boy and a girl, and a Staffy –
an old girl of thirteen years.

I’ve always enjoyed writing and was
blessed to have some great English teachers along the way which only added fuel
to the fire.

Over the years I have worked in
a delicatessen (the family business), ran a clothing store, worked as a
pharmacy assistant, receptionist, bookkeeper, and bank teller.I’ve also had a variety of volunteer
positions at my children’s playgroup, school and swimming club, and did some
volunteer work with the Historical Society.I still volunteer as Registrar at the local swimming club.

I have a Certificate 3 in Human
Services and have volunteered at the local community centre and helped run a
recovery group.

After all that, I finally
returned to my first love – writing.With countless manuscripts tucked away, I decided to take writing
lessons, and have been doing so for two years.I don’t think one ever stops learning and developing as a writer, and I
believe the writing group keeps me focussed.

I’ve also been known to draw,
knit, craft jewellery, and plod around the garden.

Well, that’s me.That wasn’t so bad.

I’d love for you to browse my
blog, website, and Facebook page.Click

An intricately woven vampire tale that keeps you wanting more. The historical and scientific content was unique and engrossing. I particularly liked the way the author separated each character's story in the beginning and then tied the...
